in 2016 at Adobe Max<\/a>, Quentin Tarantino<\/a> reaffirmed his declaration to retire after completing ten movies. For those keeping track, he’s currently standing at nine (he doesn’t count Death Proof<\/em><\/a>). If he stays true to his promise, that leaves one of the most successful, most influential, and, at times, most controversial directors with only one film left to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A true cinephile who made his rise in the 1990s with Reservoir Dogs<\/em><\/a> and cemented himself into mainstream cinema with Pulp Fiction<\/em><\/a>, Tarantino has been a highly visible film advocate who rarely shies away from interviews and the limelight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His rags-to-riches success story from video store clerk to big-budget director has been very well documented and recanted throughout the years. As such, for those seeking advice on how to follow in his filmmaking footsteps, here are some of his most important quotes for aspiring filmmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at Adobe Max, Tarantino talked in depth on how digital technology is drastically changing the filmmaking process from when he started out. While he’s always been a film-stock preservationist<\/a>, he’s grown to appreciate the accessibility of digital filmmaking and how it opens filmmaking doors for those who haven’t had access in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a parenthetical downside to it that is completely dwarfed by the upside. The upside that exists today, filmmaking can be a democratic process. In which other people, other than rich white men, can make movies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Tarantino has made many mentions of his failed first foray into filmmaking. While, like many popular directors, he may not have attended film school, his first film served as his de facto film school curriculum. Needless to say, it takes lots and lots of passion to stay with it and make it through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have the passion to do it, and you do it and it doesn\u2019t work out\u2014I worked for 3 years on a 16mm movie that became nothing but guitar picks. And I was very disappointed when I realized it wasn\u2019t any good. But it was my film school\u2014and I actually got away really cheap. When it was all over I knew how to make a movie.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
